Does that rule that you must play championship in your new county before becoming eligible apply to New York ?

Thanks for flagging that ryot. Looked at the NYGAA website yesterday and did not see his name which I thought was odd because his photo and profile was listed with the rest of the team less than a month ago (can't find that now).

Unfortunately I do not know the answer to your question

If he had to be dropped for that reason it is a shame. I was of the impression that he was in their plans.

It was very hard for him to train so he had to pull himself off the panel.”Right corner-back Ronan McGinley has a Tyrone county senior medal with Errigal Ciaran while left corner-back Kieran O’Connor played for Kerry in the Munster U21 final in 2010.Centre-back Paul O’Connor featured for Clare’s Kilmurry-Ibrickane in the 2010 All-Ireland senior club final while Down’s Paddy Boyle and Armagh’s Johnny McGeeney complete the attacking line-up.
